After upgrading (!?) to Ubuntu 20.04.3 Workspaces effects only one (of two) monitors

cn flag

I'm a happy user of Workspaces.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04.3 and appear to have broken Workspaces.

I have 2 monitors.

When I click "Activities" or , I enter the Workspaces switcher. I have (only ever) seen one of the screens thumbnailed but I have always (until the upgrade) been able to switch between Workspaces that comprise Windows that span both (2) virtual screens, i.e. when I switch between Workspaces, even though only one screen is thumbnailed, I moved between Workspaces that comprise windows across 2 screens.

Since the upgrade (!?), when I switch Workspaces, one of the windows|screens remains unchanged while the other continues to let me switch between Workspaces.

It as if Workspaces (now understandably) accepts that, because I have 2 actual screens that I may wish to switch Workspaces between each independently.

However, I now (appear to) have no way to switch Workspaces on one of the physical screens.

Ideally I'd like to (return to what I had previously and) have Workspaces treat my 2 physical screens as a single Workspace that comprises 2 virtual screens. Alternatively, I'd like to be able to switch Workspaces on either screen independently.

Solved!

I installed gnome-tweaks

Then, form "Workspaces", I selected "Worksapces span displays".

Tweaks: Workspaces

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
